-25-
Christmas Day.
We attended a beautiful mid
=night mass at Father Monroes
church last night - mass per
=formed by Father Crimont -
& sermon by Father Corbley.
It got cold last night
25º -30º below zero.
Delegate Cale asked me by
letter, received last mail, to prepare
a bill providing a limited form
of legislative government for
Alaska, and I am engaged
in the work. I am copying very
closely after the Porto Rican
bill - as that gives a strong argument
for its passage by Congress.
